The 12th Annual Conference on International Studies

CESRAN International, Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa, and OBSERVARE invite panel and paper proposals for the 12th Annual Conference on International Studies on 01-05 July 2025 in Lisbon, Portugal.

The conference will be held in Lisbon from 1-5 July 2025. The language of the conference is English.

To present a paper at the conference, applicants must fill out the Application Form.

The conference is also open to non-paper presenters, and we would encourage participation from non-academic sectors such as civil society, the private sector, national authorities, and the media.

Deadline for submissions: 1 April 2025.

This annual and interdisciplinary conference will again bring together a range of academics and practitioners to discuss new directions of research and discovery in international studies. CESRAN2025 will afford the opportunity to network new relationships, hear the latest research, present and publish before a global audience, and experience Italy.

The conference organizers encourage panels and roundtables to be diverse, including gender, ethnicity, career stage, and geographical location.

Submissions

For CESRAN 2025, we will accept three submission types:

• Individual paper submissions
• Panel submissions
• Roundtable submissions

We accept scholarly research papers and policy analyses on any topic related to international studies in its broadest definition.

Panel: It is for a group of experts working in a specific area to share papers or papers in progress. Panel submissions should include at least four papers, a discussant, and a chair, or five papers and a chair.

Roundtable: This format allows a group of experts to discuss a particular issue in depth without the constraints of having to speak to a paper. Roundtable submissions should include a minimum of four participants and a chair and a maximum of six participants and a chair.
